GENERAL ST COMEAPANYM NAVIGATION The Half-3 -early Meeting of the Proprietors of the General Steam Navigation Con.pany, vlas held this day at the office of the Company, No. 69, Lombard -street, and was very nume rously and respectably attended. A Report from the Direc tors upon the operatkns of the past yehr was read, and ap peared to afford general satisfaction. It was stated that two large and superior ships, the John 801 l and Britannia, bad been added to the fleet in 1833 ; and that a further considerable augmentation in the number of the ships of the Company -would be made in the courie of the present Spring. That four large steam vessels, two of them above 700 tons each, had been contracted for, and were now building by Messrs. and Fletcher and Fearnall , Messrs. Wigrams and Green , Messrs. Curling and Young, one of the largest of which would be launched next month, and the remainder within about three months. The Directors contemplated making arrange ments for building additional ships of the same class during the summer. After transacting the ordinary business, and declari g the n the di.ideed for the half year endin g 31st December, 1335, cordi;tl thanks of the proprietors were unanimously voted to the Di; ectors, end the meetioir was adjourned. IRELAND. TILE HUSH GOV, modk ,..NT AND THE DUBLIN SOCIETY. F 20 .—The follo'iving is the letter of the Under DUBLIN, En. 9 - Secretary, Mr. D r ummond, " to which I allue : Doblin Castle d Feb. 18, 1836. ‘• Sir,-1 have the honour of locvarding to you, by com mand of the Lord Lieutenant, certain prepositions reipooting the future constitution of the Royal Dublin 2.'. , ciety, which, on advising with the Lords of the Treasury, his Excellency desires to be submitted to the consideration of the Society. " His Excellency is of opinion that the adoption of the si • terations suggested would, while it tends so assimilate the con stitution of the society to those of the other scientific institu tions, materially contribute to increase its efficiency, and ad vance those useful objects, on the successful cultivation of which, the society rests its claim to public support. ; " I have the honour to be, &c. " T. DRUMMOND." " To the Secretary of the Royal Dublin Society." The propositions of the Lord Lieutenant, fifteen in num ber, suggested the admission of membe rs b y the vote of the majority (by ballot or otherwise), instead of the present mode, requiring two-thirds of the members to vote for any individual proposed. Dr. Murray, the Roman Catholic Archbishop, would not have been excluded, if the votes of a majority bad been sufficient. The other propositions require material changes in the regulations of the Society, and say that " there shall be no news-room permitted in the house of the Society." It was moved that the letter of Mr. Drummond, and the propositions of the Lord-Lieutenant, should be referred to 3 Committee, who should report to a special meeting of the So ciety on Saturday last. An amendment was proposed—" That those communica tions from the Government, involving serious modifications, not only of the by-laws, but of the charter, be taken into con sideration at the next stated general meeting in March, when only the Society could be competent to entertain or adopt such propositions." On a division, there appeared— For the amendment ...... Against it .. In consequence of the communication of Mr. Drummond, the names of four new members, who were to have been bal lotted for on Thursday, were withdrawn. A rumour, countenanced by Dr. Harty's motion °labors day, has been raised that the Parliamentary grant of 5,000/. will either be suspended or withdrawn. The Irish correspondent of the Morning Post says, " I see your Radical contemporary The Sun states that upwards of a thousand persons attended the last levee here. I know the return made to the Lord Lieutenant was under 400." We apprehend that we have not overrated the number pre sent at the Levee, and that our statement is fully borne out by those on whose authority we made it. Indeed the concurrent testimony of the Dublin Evening Post of our correspondent at Dublin, and of all our Liberal contemporaries there, places the fact beyond all question or controversy. . . 55 _ _ 2 - • . .- ::—..--•••---,—...-.

(1711031 OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. ) CLONMEL, FEB. 20.—The election for a representative for this borough, to fill the vacancy caused by the demise of our late lamented Member, took place at 10 o'clock this morning, shortly before which the Court-house was thrown open to thousands who had occupied the area in front. After the usual preliminaries on such occasions, Mr. Jeremiah Kiely, one of outoldest and most respectable townsmen, proposed Nicholas Be, Esq., K.C., amid much cheering, as a fit and proper person to represent the borough in Parliament. The proposi tion was seconded by Mr. Hackett, proprietor of the Free Press newspaper, in a speech of considerable power and dura tion. He, in the first place, took occasion to refer to the lamentable cause that then brought them together, the death of his private friend, and the friend of his country, Dominick Ronayne. He, however, could not but felicitate them on the triumph of independent principles in the borough ; so much bad these progressed, that now the •party most interested. _la -- upholding the system of abuse dared not to.--make IC - show of opposition. Having passed a_high eulogium on the name of the free electors,_:- - 'nsiee dwelt on the means that were taken, both .--Lefore and since the late elections, to injure not alone himself, but bis faiiaily, by in the first place vindictive tithe prosecu tiGns, siAVXII the Governments of tkir instituted against him; and ittstliesecond instance by the o boroughmongeKs of the town; some of whom having, by their political feats, brought upon themselves a contemptible notoriety, were satirised through the Medium of his journal: the meaning of which sitires was distorted, and he (the publisher of them) dragged it:to a COhrt of Law, where le was mulcted in penalties of enormous and distressing magnitude.' He mentioned these fae`ts to show the vindictive feeling of>the party who before swixt ruled as they pleased in • Clonmel, among whom be was sorry to remark were two persons, old and tottering oiriiitheir gyaves. He would not mention their names ; but they had, he hsd heard from good authority, subscribed 901. tdwartis his prosecution.—( Sensation.) The case had now been altered ; • they did not appear to-day ; nor were any of the faction there to dis r e calm tranquillity of their triumph:'-' Having _again ea r, Mr. Ball, he mentioned that as the electors confided in his tat .. a.,and integrity, he, hoped those would be rsod for the furtheranee7a-th,e_particular interests of Clonmel, and the general interests of lielAt3, No other candidate appearing, the NTITar called for a show of hands, when a forest of hands were raise , tre mendous applause, for Mr. Ball. His Worship then ass did any eleetcr wish to propose another candidate, which • was answered by general silence. Mr. Ball was then de clared duly elected ~guresentative of Clonmel, amid renewed , applause. The Hon. and Learned G:,ntleman, in returning thanks for the honour done him, remarked that he would ill express the sentiments which the kind conduct cf the electors of Clon mel had created within him. He thanked Them—he sincerely thanked them ; but, passing from this, he would advert to his political creed, with which, however, he could not foci et, they must all be acquainted. It was for that, and that alone, that lie had merited their suffrages. He was a Reformer, in the strictest sense of the word—a reformer of church abuses—a reformer of corporations—a reformer of whatever, in fine, required reform in the state or in the church.—( Loud cheers.) But he should observe that he was a church reforiner, not alone because it was his individual opinion that reform was requisite in the church, but he was happy to say, because he was joined in opinion therein by many Protestants, the most ardent friends of the Protestant church. He was a Reformer, because he was not a spoliator; and because ,the only way to prevent spoliation was by judicious and, speedy reform; and though lust, not least, he was a staunch supporter of the pre- lent Ministry.—( Cheers.) To all classes of his Majesty's l'Aihjects was he the advocate for the extension of equal rights, and equal liberties ; they had long been his feelings, and lie was sure, that , them, lie ever would be actuated. He desired not the ascendancy of one party over another ; or the extension of grea ter liberties to one portion of the communit y than to anoth er.—(Cheers.) He would, he trusted, be found at his post working for the benefit of his constituents and of his country. To his friends he should again return his thanks. To those too who did not join him in political opinion, and whom he had met in his canvass, he should also not forget re cording his esteem—( Hear, hear)—they had treated him with courtesy, need he add with kindness; and they deserved and lied his best thanks. He would not call the events of that morning a triumph ; it was not a triumph, because no victory was won, when no contest was bad for it.—( Cheers.) He hoped that this was the beginning of a cordial and happy union among all classes in Clonmel ; and he concluded a brief and excellent speech amidst loud cheers. Among those who crowded the hustings, were some of the mop respectable of our liberal townsmen :—Very Rev. Dr. Burke. P. P., Messrs. J. Keily, J. Hackett, C. Bianconi, Sur geon Phelan, Joseph Kenny, T. Ryan. W. Lonergan, Rev. Mr. Cuddihy, Edmond Power (conducting agent to Mr. Ball), D. Ronayne, solicitor, T. Lalor, J. Lalor, Hayes, Cantwell, Hudson, &c. &c. No election within my remembrance passed off more quiztly. M r . Ball, I understand, leaves town to-morrow. He (at the instance of the Election Committee) declined attending a pub lic dinner to which the electors invited him, as he expects to be in London on Friday, to take part in the proceedings on Irish Corporate Reform. The reply of Earl Mulgrave to the Address of this county, has created a very strong sensation of respect ;• and—l may add—Cf affection for his Excellency. Every high-minded person felt the insult that Lord Ossory flung at him, and the pleased every we ll-affected individual. The rebuke there fore I learn, inten d to read the re p ly for their Catholic Clergy, press on their minds the necessity of flocks to-morrow, an'.. l Im press observing the injunctions' given by the L(2cd the in re ferer.ce to the peace of t h e i r _districts..

THE SUN, LONDON, TILT were agreed. There was not a dissentient voice as to the expediency of commuting tithe into a rent charge We may, therefore, congratulate the country - on the certainty that this question, so imoortant in its beat-. lugs on the peace and happiness, as well as on the agricultural interests of the nation, will it:. peedily and satisfactorily :,cttled. That there should be difficulties in the way of its adjustmpt will not sur prise any one who considers the complicated nature of the details in which the subject is necessarily involved. To wait until a measure shall be contrived which shall be free from objections, would be to wait till dooms day. All . that the deepest sagacity can accomplish in cases like this, where a great and pressing evil is to be remedied, and conflicting interests consulted, is to make as eqnitable a compromise as circumstances will permit. This great object, we think, has been effected by the general plan which Lord JOHN RUSSELL has submitted to the Legislature — a plan which, we hesitate not to say, is more just, simple, and comprehensive than any that has ever yet been proposed, - and which, while it reflects great credit on the talents of the Noble Lord who framed it, entitles the Administration under whose aus pices it has been brought forward, to the gratitude of the country. As to the particular objections urged against: the Bill, it is unnecessary to notice them khcre, be cause being directed against matters of detail, they will come under consideration more properly at a future stage, namely, when the Bill goes into Com- littee. We shall, therefore, only remark at presen that we are extremely glad to find, from the official ab stract of the Bill, that what we took the liberty to point out as a defect on its first reading is to be sup plied by a provision rendering the rent charge redeem , able. We regret to learn that the Carlow Election Com-. mittee have come to the determination of conduCting their enquiry with closed doors. The resolution is an unfortunate one, notwithstanding Mr. RIDLEY COL-, BORNE'S arguments in its favour, for we cannot pos sibly see how it can be " fit and proper for the pun: poses of justice that the Committee should be closed to strangers." Wherever there is secresy on the part of a tribunal, there is always suspicion on the part of the public—and justly so, for publicity is the very soul of justice, without which it loses half its value and august dignity in the eyes of the people. W e ll, therefore, might Mr. O'CONNELL say, " I hear with regret the determination of the Committee which has been just announced. It will be my duty, as soon as they meet again, to endeavour respectfully to per suade them that they ought not to sit with closed doors." If ever man was justified in making a com plaint of this sort, assuredly Mr. O'CONNELL is that man ; for he has been attacked openly, and with the most bare-faced violation of all the decencies and charitie s of life, for the last eight months and upwards ; and my, when he desires to have the charges against him (as respects the Carlow affair), as well as his own jus tification, brought fully before the public, so that they may be enabled to judge for themselves, he is told, forsooth, that the public is to be excluded, and the inquiry is to be conducted with closed doors•! We hope the Members of the Committee will think better of the matter. A Cor►espondent suggests the expediency of print ing the speech of Lord DUDLEY STUART on the ussian question, in a cheap form, in order to facilitate its circulation among all classes. We highly approve of this suggestion, which we have no doubt will meet the eye of some 'enterprising publisher. Lord DUDLEY STUART'S speech was one of the most able, and the most comprehensive in its details of Russian policy, ever delivered in the British House of Commons. BAIL We are happy to announce the return of Mr. for the borough of Clonmel. Mr. BAL L is a zealous supporter of the policy of the present Government, and anx►ous for the removal of those abuses which are the principal causes of the disturbed -state of Ireland. • - The whole of the Paris Papers of Sunday have been received. The following extracts from them con tain all that is of any importance in their columns : PARIS, FEB. 21.—(Xews of the Morning.)—We have thought it our duty not to consider as wholly certain the com position of the Cabinet, which was given as final. It is certain that yesterday, in the Chamber, some of the Members, designated as the new Ministers, being questioned by their colltaues on the subject, said that nothing was concluded — that further conferences would take place to-day, in which the forrpation of the Ministry would be definitively settled, or broken off. The principal difficulty seemed to relate to M. Persil—the part which he acted in the Cabinet of the three days' accounts for the efforts of the Doctrioaires to obtain Lis return, as well as the repugnance felt . ,„ fnr him by those who made part of that ephemeral Cabinet. A certain number of the confidential adherents of the ancient Ministry have, it is said, waited as a Deputation on M. Thiers, to inform him that their support, and that of their friends, depended on two con ditions—the admission of M. Persil, and the absolute exclu sion of M. Humann. As for M. Humann, it seems that he cares little about en tering into the proposed arrangement. But M. Passy will not hear'-of M. Persil :it appears that he insists that M. Sauzet shall have the Seals. - M. Thenard has been spoken of for the department of Public Instruction, which would give (having M. Marti.) du Nord in the parquet) four Peers and four Deputies in the Cabinet. But then, what van be done with M. Persil, M. Guizot, and M. Duchatel, for whom it is desired to find offices? It is said that it has been contemplated to make again Ministers of State ; for to give the Intendance of the Civil List to one of I them, is not to be thought of—it is reserved for M. Farin.— Maasuyer, Feb. 21. The Speaker will hold two levees at his residence, 7, Carlton-gardens ; the first on Saturday the sth of March ; the second on Saturday the 12th March.

The subject of this•picture,. which no one can mis .ake for one of Martin's, is taken from a hint fur- niched by Campbell in one of his minor Poems. It represents the " Last Man" sitting - on the precipitous fragment of a -- lofty mountain, surveying with looks of hopeless anguish the multitudinous dead that lie thickly heal•cd up, about him, and in all directions. Behind him is a still, deserted city ; and below, a few vessels which are rocking to and fro on the water, without a hand to direct their course. The whole scene is one . of utter desolation, and would have been still more striking, had it not been for the introduction of Martin's favourite lightning—a flashy common-place, which mars the effect of half his pictures. * Ctlfz , :" • A ,i , ... , qleig ' , 4 . 14.1 . ‘"i,:i.r, ..,."-:, Ati lt s ' % , k i4W - _,., 44.' A MA + LONDON, TUESDAY st EVENING, FEBRIJAOf . 443, 1836. The important question of' Railways was brought under the notice of both Houses of Parliament laSt night—in the House of Peers by Lord WHARN CLIFFE, and in the Commons by Lord GEORGE LEN NOX. The result was highly satisfactory; as will be seen by our report of the debates. The Government, no longer doubtful of the necessity of Railways, _has wisely resolved to adopt measures which, while they will afford fair play to speculations, combining public interest with private gain, will, on the other hand, pre— vent- the perpetration of gross frauds upon the public, by means pf the ; ruinous projects of rival and insolvent Companies. We have maintained from the first that the Government ought to take up the question in a paternal spirit ; with a view to carry out the princi ple with as little injury as possible to private indivi.• Iluals, lt is the duty of Parliament to act promptly and firnily to ttuffe!..no parties to ruin themselves by any - unnecessary delaTl-Itra - --above all to afford mere speculative gamblers no hope of pra ii: impositions to the detriment of small capitalists. For ..• iur pose "it would be of immense importance 1 - _... Parliament to pass one Bill for the regulation of all future Railway projects—fixing the great lines, to be first c ompleted—stating in what instances parallel lines could be permitted to exist—regulating the mode of applying to Parliament, so as to escape the enOTMOUS expense now incurred by the introduction of separate Bills, before the details of the measure are known to, perhaps, three Members of either House. ' In fact, Railway legislation requires to be put on quite a different footing from what it is at present. For our own part, we cannot see any reason why the Government should not take the whole of the Rail ways into its own hands, and so by carrying on all the great lines at the same time, extend equal justice to the manufacturers in every part of the kingdom. By the private contract system the mercantile classes in one part of the country will possess advantages ruinous to those residing in towns through which n o Railways are carried. Commerce will move in the train of the first established rail-conveyance ; and thus the manufacturers, too distant to take advantage of them, will be ruined unless they are so numerous and wealthy as to be in a condition to make roads to suit themselves. This inconvenience would hardly be felt were the Government to take upon itself the carrying of from three to eight great lines, which connect the remotest part of the kingdom with the metropolis. The money could be raised by shares, as at present, and with this advantage, that no part of it would go to fill the pockets of unprincipled jobbers. This would lead to an uniform System of taxation, which in a few years might not only pay off the dividends, but produce a large amount of national revenue. • We have in truth very serious doubts of the wisdom, not to say the honesty, of leaving such masses of public pro perty to be managed by small knots of irresponsible Directors. . The Tithe Commutation Bill was read a second time last night in the House of Commons. The chief interest of the discussion which took place on this occasion appears to us to consist in the opposite views which the speakers took of the measure, one set of Honourable Gentlemen contending that the Dill was much too favourable to the Clergy, while another set, among whom svc find Mr. D. W. HA a- VEY Ride by side with Si r Ileaktyr 150,15, protested against th,e.44ciaegions spoliiiiion of Church row.lty contemplated by the Ni)l. It must .be observed, how ever, that these contradictory aWI, mutually destructive objections to the details; n ot to th e p r i n pi p l eo f t h e measure apply : n the latter pointwe are happy to say all TURKEY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—I think the advice given by Sir Edward Codrington, in the House of Commons, on Friday last, to admit the pro ducts of Turkey upon the same liberal terms that she receives our manufactures—viz., free of duty—deserves the serious at tention of Ministers. If this system of reciprt'city were adopted, we should soon compel the other nations in the South of Eu rope, whose productions are similar to those of Turkey, to act as she does. With the Northern Powers we are precluded from pursuing such wise policy by the absurd Corn and Timber Duties. This act of common justice to Turkey would be of service to her in a political, as well as in a commercial, Niew, and would do more towards assisting her to throw off the thraldom of Russia than any direct interference on our part could. More intercourse with her would tend to enlighten her. She possesses many advantages--her population are a fine and noble race, only debased by bad Government—her climate is excellent, and soil fertile—property pretty equally divided. She is without a debt, and without an Aristocracy. If the Board of Trade would only ascertain the duties charged by different countries on our manufactures, and trOat their ex ports accordingly when they arrived here, I am satisfied our commerce might be greatly extended. Mr. Poulett Thomson, I think, is disposed to this line of conduct, after he has got clear of the arrangements of his Tory predecessors, who never troubled their heads about the in terest cf England, unless it had happened to be their interest, and that of their immediate friends. I am, Sir, yours respectfully, MERCATOR. N.B. These observations are not intended to apply to Wine and Spirits, the duties on which are for Revenue, and cannot be spared. PARLIAMENTARY DIVISION.

PARLIAMENTARY SUMMARY. In the LORDS', last night, af.cr the• presentation of some pe titions, it was announced by Lord Lansdowne, " that Govern ment had no intention, at present, of making any alteration in the timber duties, and that whenever they meant to propose an alteration, ample notice would be given of their intention." The motion on the subject of Municipal Magistrates was post poned till to-day. All instruction to the Agricultural Com mittee was ordered. Some conversation took place relative to railroad bills. The E leSiastical Courts Bill was read a second time, and referred:. a Select Committee. Petitions for the continuance:of the present plan of taking out Probates, &c., in counties were preferred to the same Committee. In the COMMONS', Lord W. Bentinck, the Liberal Member for Glasgow, took the oaths and his seat. The Speaker in formed the House that he had received a petition against the return of Mr. O'Loghlen, the Irish Attorney-General, for Dungarvan. Lord William Lennox having moved the second reading of the London and Brighton Railway Bill; a very in teresting discussion ensued. Mr. P. Thompson moved that the second reading of all railroads bills should be postponed for eight days, by which time a Select Committee would re port what rules it might be desirable for the House to establish with respect to them. On a division, the numbers were—For the postponement, 271; against it; 75. In answer to a question of Mr. Harvey, it was stated that the Committee appointed to investigate the Carlow case had de termined to pursue their inquiry with closed doors, and had adjourned to Monday, as the evidence was not at present quite ready to be proceeded with. The witnesses from Ireland would by that time arrive, and the proceedings be then con tinued uninterruptedly. The Tithes Commutation Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed pro forma on Thursday, when it will be reprinted, and be ordered to be committed on Monday week to a Committee of the whole House. Sir R. Peel objected to the compulsory part of the measure. The Pensions' Duties Bill and the Municipal Cor porations Act Amendment Bill were severally read a second time. Some conversation took place on the motion of the Attorney-General for the second reading of the Bill to amend the Municipal Corporations Act. Some motions were post poned.—Adjourned at 12 o'clock. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) BUTTEYANT V. TAYLOR AND OTHERS. This was a suit instituted by the plaintiff, as the devisee of a person named Munton, of an estate in Northamptonshire, against the defendants, the executors, and their solicitors, Messrs. Douglas and Abbey, of Market Harborough, for the purpose of obtaining the poss'ssion of the title-deeds belong ing to the estate. The defendants set up a lien upon the deeds, on the behalf of a Mr. George Wartnaby, formerly a partner of Douglas, for business done from 1803 to 1820 ; and a supplemental suit was instituted against Mr. Wartnaby, to compel him to establish that claim. Mr. PEMBERTON, Mr. BETHEL, and Mr. WRIGHT were Counsel for the plaintiffs ; and Mr. KINDERSLEY and Mr. BLUNT appeared for the defendants. The MASTER OF THE ROLLS, ill giving judgment, said it would seem, from the statements of the Counsel on behalf of the defendants, that an angry feeling had existed between Messrs. Douglas and Abbey and Mr. Shuttleworth, the soli citor for the plaintiff, and on that ground one of the parties thought they ought not do that which they were bound to do. His Lordship had read the correspondence very carefully, and having done so, he must say that he did not find a single irri tating expression, that would justify the defendants in the course they had adapted. The only . evidence affecting Shuttleworth, was an alleged conversation between Douglas and the plaintiff, in August 1832, when Douglas pretended that he had told the plaintiff where the deeds were. His Lordship must in justice to Mr. Shuttleworth say that there was nothing to warrant the observations made by the Counsel for the defen dants, but on the contrary there was, to say the least of it, shuffling conduct on the part of the solicitor for the executors. In his Lordship's opinion the original suit was occasioned by the evasion that had taken place on thoir part. There could be no doubt that the plaintiff had a right to his deeds, and there was no evidence to prove that Wartnaby was entitled to what ho olaimed—indeed he seemed to doubt it himself, for, in one instance he claimed 300/., and in another 612/. On the whole, therefore, his Lordship would decree that the deeds should be immediately delivered up to the plaintiff. The costs of the original suit to be paid by Douglas and Abbey, and tlo.ose of the supplemental one by Mr. Wartnaby jointly. . _ _ His LOai•snii rose at one o'clock to attend the Levee, VICE-CHANCERY-(THIS DAY.) POWIS /), MAI.I*P/ELD. His Honour the Viog• CHANCELLOR gave judgment this morning, in the ease which our readers will recollect occupied four or five days some time ago in argument. The question in the ease was whether a niece of Sir John Barrington's, to whom Sir John had given a sum of 10,000/., by her marriage settlement was also entitled to a similar sum of 10,0001., given her by the will of Sir John Barrington, or whether the gift of the 10,000/. by the marriage settlement was not to be coml. dered an ademption of the legacy given by the will. His Ho nour, after going at considerable length into the facts of the case, stated his opinion to be that the rii•eoc was entitled to both sums, and decreed accordingly, The COURT then proceeded to bear motions, To-morrow ui n the queen's Birth-flay, his Honour will not sit, KING'S BENCH-(THIS DAY). MOTET V. .COLOIN. This was an action upon a policy of insurance for the sum of 45,000 francs, effected by the plaintiff, a French ship owner, upon his vessel, Cuurrier de Sette, in the month of May, 1833, on her voyage from Havre to St. Melo, on which occasion she sprung a leak, and the Captain was compelled to run her on shore. Mr. Sergeant WILDE stated the case for the plaintiff, and the ATTORNEY•GENERAL and Mr. MAULE for the defendant. A great mass of evidence taken before the French Com missioners was put in—the evidence for the plaintiff had not concluded when our Reporter left. THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE "O'CLOCK. Accounts from Frankfort state that the affairs of the East occupy attention on the Bourse of Vienna. Government troops have been sent to Illyria, to Croatia, and Slavonia. Great movements prevail in tke office of the Winister of War at Vienna. Prince Charles has repeated conferences with M. Metternich. Promotions have taken place in the army, and it is stated that General Radetaki will proceed to Italy. It is not expected that a war will take place, but these movements are merely precautionary measures. By the Hamburgh mail this morning, we have the prices from Vienna to the 13th Feb.—Metalliques, 102 15-16ths; Bank Shares, 1,355. Prices at Hamburgh—Metalliques, 101/ ; Bank Shares, 1,384. THE FUNDS. Consols, which closed yesterday at 914 1 for money and time, opened this morning at the above prices ; Exchequer Bills, 19 91 ; India Bonds, 3 5 ; Bank Stock, 218 19; India Stock, 2561 to 2571. Yesterday afternoon, towards the close of the Foreign Mar ket, a panic took place in tle Spanish Active Stock, owing to some heavy sales being effected. Spanish Stock receded from 461 to 43i, and they closed at 44i. This sudden decline is attributed to two circumstances—first, that late in the afternoon a meeting took place at a great City Capitalist's, which is stated to have terminated in his refusal t o advance money to the Spanish Government without good se curity ; secondly, that in consequence of that event it was ge nerally expected that the Spanish dividends would not be paid ; but up to the present hour all is uncertain, and the various re ports put into circulation in respect to Spanish affairs have not been confirmed. Spanish Actives opened at various prices this morning, 44 45, 441 1; and at the latter price they are at present. Portuguese, 821 83 ; Three per Cents., 521 a ; Colombian, 31 321 ; Mexican, 36 37 ; Dutch Two and a Half per Cents., 55a ; Five per Cents., 1041. HALF-PAST ONE. Among the rumours that are current about the fall in Spanish stock, is, that a meeting took place yesterday in the house of a leading Capitalist, in which he refused to advance money to the Spanish Government. We can assure our readers on good authority that there was no such meeting, and that no assistance of money whatever has been required by the Spanish Government. _ _ -- Anynne acquainted with the nature of usages o f Govern ment matters, must admit that it would be contrary to all confidential principles for any respectable party to giv e a p u bl ic reply to such questions. The state of the British Legion is another of the causes to which this fall has been attributed. It must be borne in mind that these reports are promulgated on the authority of persons that have returned from Spain, the greatest number, we have been informed, discharged from the service on account of in capacity, or other causes still unknown to the public--in some instances not very creditable to the patties themselves, There is some sickness in the British Legion, as may be naturally expected at this season of the year, but no more than what is found in armies in similar circumstances. Consols continue at the morning prices, and steady at 91i for the Account, with scarce a bargain doing in the above market.
